Re: ATI Users: XG Warcats 5.11XT Video Drivers

*This technology is supported by the Radeon 9xx0 series and higher*

Would this include the X850XT and other cards in that series?

Re: ATI Users: XG Warcats 5.11XT Video Drivers

these drivers are probably the best because they combine both 5.11 and 5.11b. overall, they're probably the best i've tried over omega 5.9 and 5.10a and the official 5.11.

i even started a thread here - http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43188 telling everyone to use the omega 5.10a drivers but as you will see down at the bottom of that thread (EDIT #2), i switched to these drivers...

Re: ATI Users: XG Warcats 5.11XT Video Drivers

Nope....not me.
Hade error with cat control center.
NVG crashed me back to desktop.
crane and all ground flickering in game.
wierd light flickering on the plane in nightflight map.

Reinstalled official 5.11...everything back to norm.

probably just needs a little more tweaking...

ATI X850xt 256...AGP
Core.570 Mem.570

Make sure you follow these steps my friend. because Windows is a Plug 'n Play OS and sometime you have to "force 3rd party drivers" onto your system. So just follow these instructions:
1. Uninstall video drivers and control Panel or CCC.
2. If you have Crap Cleaner run it and scan for issues and fix those issues (Crap Cleaner fixes the issues).
3. Roboot to Safe mode.
4. Run the Driver Cleaner Pro and the tool Cab Cleaner that is in the Driver Cleaner Pro.
5. Boot your system back to the desktop.
5. Now windows will tell you that there are some hardware found and would want to run a check on drivers. Windows is a plug & play Operating System so every time you add a new device it will give you a new hardware found prompt. To prevent this you must remove the hardware or let windows try to find the driver if you try to cancel it, it will just show up on the next boot so try to install it even if you don't have the drivers windows will just put it on your system without a driver. It won't hurt your system and you won't get the NEW HARDWARE FOUND PROMPT AGAIN.
** Simple Talk: So just let windows find the driver. Once it does that it will tell you no drivers found (that is what you want). Make are sure to check the box to where you do not want the prompt to show up on your next reboot. This will happen every time you uninstall old drivers.
6. Install the Warcats or what ever video drivers you want.
7. Reboot system
8. Run your driver cleaner and scan for issues. Fix the issues again. Then reboot again
9. Defrag your system.

Hey guys ! How's BF2 ? I see you enjoy that game very much ! I don't blame you :) I don't play it that much but i do my best to provide users with good gaming experience . That's why we decided to make the WarCats drivers. The community was i need of good drivers and we answered its call . :)
Nice to meet you all, i'll keep you updated on what's gonna come next and when . The only thing you'll have to tell me, is how the drivers are handling in games like BF2 .

Re: ATI Users: XG Warcats 5.11XT Video Drivers

now are these complete drivers

do we need to unistall the omega drivers and the drivers from ati as omega worked in conjunction with the ati drivers it just replaced the ccc

or can we remove everything and just install these

Re: ATI Users: XG Warcats 5.11XT Video Drivers

I'm getting glitches and blank screens sometimes when I enter vehicles or use gun sights, either getting back out of the vehicle nad in again or switching the sight fixes this, but it's a bit annoying in the thick of battle - X800pro modded to X800XT

Re: ATI Users: XG Warcats 5.11XT Video Drivers

Are there any third party drivers for nVidia?

[WarAnakin]

Re: ATI Users: XG Warcats 5.11XT Video Drivers

I'll answer you questions 1 by 1 .
First, for a good installation, you should remove your previous driver before installing this one. Even if it is Official Catalyst driver . If you have the CCC up to date, you don't have to install the one from the WarCat driver .

Second, the black screen and lightning glitches can be cause by the flash mod . Flashing your video card's BIOS can result in such things . Take a look here : http://www.tweaksrus.com/forums/inde...showtopic=3203

Third question, yes there are Nvidia modded drivers . But i don't know wich one is the best for you, so you can ask my friends right here: http://www.tweaksrus.com/forums/inde...opic=764&st=10

Re: ATI Users: XG Warcats 5.11XT Video Drivers

Does the warcats driver use the catalyst control center, or does it use a different control panel? The reason I ask this is because even after I uninstalled the ati catalyst driver, the new driver uses the ccc. is this normal?

Re: ATI Users: XG Warcats 5.11XT Video Drivers

I know what they are, my point is who are these people writing the drivers? Why should I believe that they are smarter than the ATI engineers? You say they shut off certain things to make the card run faster - why didn't the ATI people turn them off? I'm skeptical partly because of the security risks involved with uncertified drivers. Omega I've heard about for years but WarCat?

WTF, lol security risks. I've been using Omega drivers for quite a while now. They give better performance, they are stable. What security risks are you worried about from these? Maybe you should worry about it if some unpopular new driver came out, but Omega has been around for quite a while and is trusted.

You say how can these guys create better performance? Well as one of the posters said (which you obviolsy skipped and didn't read) the original official drivers dont use the vid card to its full potential, so that they can get people to buy better ones, but the omega drivers and other 3d party drivers reveal the potential.

The WarCat driver uses the CCC . Yes it's normal .
